strength of Materials etc. - I have been a Member of a "Rail Road gang" once in my life and had charge both of the Compass & Transit- in fact I run most of the road from Keene to Northfield Mass - in one month's time I could recall all - and should lack only the experience of those who have had long practice but do not understand the principles unclear well as I do. I am at a stand to know what to do. I must do something differently from what I have been doing. Please send me which Papers you have of mine, concerning my Matters at Marietta. Let me know whether these notes reach you. We are all well. Alvin is in good health. He is teaching and doing well --he has about $1,25 per day & board this winter. I shall decide soon what I shall do.
